Indications & Clinical Uses

Paramed Indigestion Relief is an antacid that works within the gastrointestinal tract to alleviate symptoms caused by excess acidity.

  • Heartburn: Reduces the burning sensation in the chest caused by acid reflux.
  • Acid indigestion: Alleviates discomfort and fullness after meals.
  • Sour stomach: Provides rapid neutralisation of gastric acid to ease sour taste and nausea.

How It Works

  • Calcium carbonate acts as a direct chemical neutraliser of gastric hydrochloric acid. By increasing the pH of stomach contents, it reduces acidity, thereby decreasing irritation of the gastric mucosa and relieving symptoms associated with hyperacidity.

Side Effects

Side effects are generally mild and related to the antacid’s mineral content.

Common Side Effects

  • Constipation: Occurs due to calcium’s constipating effect.
  • Flatulence: Gas formation may be experienced after ingestion.
  • Nausea: Mild stomach upset can occur in some users.
  • Belching: Release of gas from the stomach is common.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Hypercalcaemia: Elevated blood calcium levels with prolonged high‑dose use.
  • Metabolic alkalosis: Excessive alkalinisation of body fluids.
  • Kidney stones: Calcium precipitation in the urinary tract with chronic overuse.
  • Allergic reaction: Rash, itching or swelling in sensitive individuals.

Precautions & Warnings

When using Paramed Indigestion Relief, consider the following safety measures:

  • Dose limitation: Do not exceed the recommended daily amount indicated on the label.
  • Pre‑existing conditions: Use with caution in patients with renal impairment or a history of hypercalcaemia.
  • Concomitant medications: Check for possible interactions with other oral drugs that require an acidic environment for absorption.
  • Pregnancy and lactation: Consult a healthcare professional before use.
  • Children: Keep dosage appropriate for age and weight as advised by a prescriber.
  • Store at ambient temperature: Keep in the original container, protect from moisture and heat.

Avoid Interactions

Calcium carbonate can affect the absorption and effectiveness of several medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Tetracycline antibiotics: Forms insoluble complexes, reducing antibiotic efficacy.
  • Fluoroquinolone antibiotics: Decreases absorption, potentially leading to treatment failure.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Thyroid hormones (levothyroxine): May require dose adjustment.
  • Iron supplements: Can lower iron absorption when taken together.
  • Bisphosphonates: Reduced bioavailability if administered concurrently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Paramed Indigestion Relief is an over‑the‑counter antacid that temporarily relieves heart‑burn, acid indigestion and sour‑stomach symptoms caused by excess stomach acid. It is intended for occasional use in adults and children who experience mild digestive discomfort.

Calcium carbonate neutralises gastric hydrochloric acid by a direct chemical reaction, raising the pH of stomach contents. This reduction in acidity lessens irritation of the gastric lining and quickly eases symptoms such as burning, fullness and sour taste.

The appropriate dose is set by the prescriber or according to the product label. Users should follow the instructions on the packaging or the guidance of a healthcare professional and should not exceed the stated maximum daily amount.

Calcium carbonate is generally considered safe in pregnancy and lactation when used at recommended doses, but pregnant or nursing individuals should consult a healthcare professional before starting any antacid to ensure it is appropriate for their specific situation.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com with the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Paramed Indigestion Relief uses calcium carbonate, which provides rapid acid neutralisation and also supplies calcium. Compared with aluminium‑ or magnesium‑based antacids, calcium carbonate may cause constipation rather than diarrhoea and offers a higher elemental calcium content, but it should be used cautiously in patients at risk of hypercalcaemia.

Store the tablets at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in the original packaging to protect them from moisture and heat. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children.

The product is taken orally, usually with a glass of water. It can be taken after meals or when symptoms occur, following the dosage instructions on the label or those provided by a healthcare professional.

Serious but rare risks include hypercalcaemia, metabolic alkalosis and kidney‑stone formation, particularly with excessive or prolonged use. Any signs of allergic reaction such as rash, swelling or difficulty breathing should prompt immediate medical attention.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to calcium carbonate, those with severe renal impairment, hypercalcaemia, or a history of kidney stones should avoid this product unless advised otherwise by a qualified healthcare professional.
